I need to return my girlfriends S2 under warranty. It is still on stock GB, with root and CWM recovery. What do I need to do to unroot and bring it back to stock recovery? Just ODIN? Got any links?
Thanks
Use search and you will find what you're looking for.

I did search. ODIN is what I think I found. Just wanted to make sure Odin removes everything, even the recovery.

Use Odin to flash a stock rom. It will turn your phone to original state.

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?
Sorry, not new to flashing ROMs at all..but normally I flash custom ROMs and don't care about losing anything, but my wife likes the touchjizz...lol

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
Need help. I'm trying to install twrp on my note 2 but its like nothing is happening. When I go through the process, odin says pass and such and then the phone reboots, then when I power off and go into recovery, its still stock. Then when I reboot, go to about phone and status, instead of modified it says Normal. Im using odin 3 3.04. Please anyone help.
